(Pretty) New from MO
« on: February 16, 2013, 04:33:33 PM »
I probably should have done this a few days ago when I first began to post, but I'll introduce myself.  My first handgun was a surplus CZ 82, which I've adopted as my varmint gun here on my rural property.  Although it wasn't new, I really liked it, and began to pay attention to CZ.  We next got a 452 in 17HMR after my brother-in-law introduced us to his, and we fell in love with it.  I guess that's my wife's gun officially, but it counts.  When I decided I wanted something in 9mm I looked at a RAMI and never looked at anything else for a small gun.  Patience paid off, and I got an alloy one almost new on GunBroker for under $400 with shipping a year or two ago.  As with most of you, my appetite was just whetted, and I figured until I had a full-sized 75 I really didn't have a well-rounded CZ collection.  This week I just took delivery of my 75B Limited Edition, which probably surpasses by Kimber Stainless II as the showpiece of my collection.  Although relatively new to guns, I've got a shooting range on my property, and have a very nice variety of long guns and hand guns in a limited number of calibers to keep ammo costs down (stocked up before the latest craziness).  We have a couple grandsons living with us, and they already are crack shots with their .22 and the .17s.  A fun and wholesome entertainment, despite what some of our less enlightened elected officials might think.

Welcome from northeast Mo.  You are a step ahead of me as I've been a member since August of '11 and have not posted much nor introduced myself  on the new members board but I hope you get as much enjoyment as I just reading and learning about CZs here.

Hello and welcome to the forum from Wi.
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

I have CDO. It's actually OCD but I put them in order like they should be!

Where Down Under are you?  My mother was a Kiwi (WWII war bride); we've got family in NZ and good friends in the Sydney area.  I've only been there and in Melbourne.  I hope to spend an extended time in both countries sometime after I retire to really get to know them.
